Before the Wedding
Wedding Invitation Suite
As per Heather from Red Bicycle Paper Co., “wedding invitations are
your guests’ first peek into your wedding. Your invitation should
give your guests an idea of how to dress, how formal or in-formal
your wedding will be, and what to expect on your special day”. She
also says, “a beautiful wedding invitation will spark anticipation
from your guests and be a marker point in your planning process
(yes, this really is going to happen!)”.
A wedding invitation suite is comprised of multiple parts – some
mandatory and others optional.
Invitation – Mandatory
The invitation is the most important piece of your wedding
stationery and provides your guests with all the ceremony and
reception details. Be sure to include the host of the wedding which
can be the couple, the bride’s parents or both families etc. You will
also want to make sure the wedding date, ceremony location and
start time are included as well as reception venue name, location
and start time. We suggest other details be listed on separate cards
as to avoid overcrowding the invitation.
Let your creativity flow and use your colours or overall décor theme
in your stationery design. If using a professional stationery
designer for your wedding invitation suite, we recommend booking
a consultation 10-12 months before your wedding to discuss the
details. The rough turn-around time from design and printing to
delivery can be 4-6 weeks. If making your own stationery, start
looking online for inspiration around 8 months before and have
your design finalized 6 months before the wedding. Depending on
the complexity of your design and craftiness required, we suggest
you begin creating your
invitations 6 months before your wedding so that they are ready to
send out 16 weeks before the big day.
Keep in mind that the invitation is the star of the suite, so don’t be
afraid to try something special whether foil, different shape or
paper type. You can use more cost-effective options for other
stationery pieces.
Tip: If making the invitations yourself, we suggest you make one full
invitation suite, place in an envelope and take it to your nearest post office.
Have them weigh and measure the suite in order to quote postage. This
will allow you to stay within a budget and have the option of modifying the
design to fit within cheaper shipping parameters.
